Transcribed by TH2, this entry is an excerpt from Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde (Book II, lines 778-84) -- a long poem based on Petrarch'sRime 132. TH2 most likely copied from Thynne's edition of Chaucer (c. 1532). This passage features part of a soliloquy by Criseyde in which she weighs the advantages and drawbacks for women to love men; she describes love as bringing stormy passages, mistrust, and strife, since women remain powerless in the face of adversity.
